The film shows the whole background of the new reality that the world faced in the spring of 2020. Paradoxically, the most severe ordeal in the last 20 years has brought people together, while separating them. Loneliness became a catalyst for internal changes for the six Russian – speaking characters from different countries. Distanced from the usual life, for a month they filmed video diaries and learned to interact with the world in the new conditions of strict restrictions. Everything that is shown on the screen is pure improvisation, non-stop life, sincere feelings without censorship. The reality of what is happening is emphasized by one of the most innovative technological formats – screenlife.
